About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends since my teens. I’m dependable, caring, and make sure pets feel safe and loved. I work full time, but I’m available for pet care before and after work, as well as weekends. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. We have a small dog park, and my older kids (17 and 18) and I enjoy walking and playing with dogs. We also have two friendly dogs, so your pet will have companionship, regular exercise, and plenty of attention in a safe, caring environment.
About: I grew up with 2 labs and a miniature dachshund, so I am I lover of all dogs big and small. I’ve been off Rover for a few years due to living in a strict pet free home. But great news, I am now a homeowner ready to love on some dogs before finding my forever bestie. Let me take care of your dog as if they were my own! I am a schedule coordinator at my current job so I have flexible hours. I typically work 9-3 and have open availability on weekends. I live in a safe, condo community with multiple parks nearby to take dogs on walks. Dogs are welcome to roam around my apartment while I’m gone if they’re potty trained and do not damage furniture. There are no other pets at home.
About: I have such a love for all animals I have had two dogs, two cats and a bunny all at once and I enjoyed every minute I am currently unemployed, so I have such an open availability. I’m just trying to find new ways to support my two kids and our dog. I make sure that they have food and water and I’ll spend lots of time playing with him and just giving them all the love and attention in the small amount of time that I’m with them
About: Have an energetic dog who needs more walking? Let them come take a walk with me! I'm an avid daily walker and often go hiking and backpacking. I used to love walking with my own dog and look forward to walking with yours! I work fully remote and have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your scheduling needs. I specialize in weekday morning walks and in-home visits with additional evening and weekend availability. Dogs and cats appreciate routine and schedules as much as we do! My goal is to provide your furbaby with a routine as close to their regular schedule as possible, whether that's walks, playtime, food or medication.
“I loved working with Meagan! We met prior to my travels to let my cat get familiar with her, and it was apparent right away how great Meagan is with animals. She was very communicative, punctual and sent so many picture updates of my cat! It was such a relief to know my buddy was well cared for while I was away. I’ll definitely be contacting Meagan the next time I need cat care!”
About: Leaving your dog or cat with someone else can feel like a BIG deal! You want to know they’re safe, loved, comfortable, and in the hands of someone you can trust. That’s exactly what I’m here for. I’ve been part of the Rover community since 2019, and over the years I’ve had the opportunity to build wonderful relationships with pets and their parents. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they receive the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I especially enjoy caring for puppies and medium-energy pups who need a little extra attention and structure throughout the day. Whether they love going on walks, playing, getting some extra cuddles, or simply having quiet time to decompress, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 I have 3 cats of my own so taking care of someone else’s fur baby and incorporating them into my routine is very easy and enjoyable. I have a fenced yard behind my apartment where they can play and run around. I also have a park and dog area to take them to release all their energy. Best part is, It is a very dog friendly community!
“Abby is great! She’s punctual and very communicative during the check-ins. I appreciated that she respected Pickles’s space and slowly earned her trust over the few days. I would definitely recommend her for cat sitting!”
“Erica was great!! We have a shy, slightly difficult older dog and Erica was amazing at being patient with her! She was super responsive and kept me updated on the situation the entire time! Highly suggest!”
About: Hello!! For the past 3 months I have been dog walking for a company, and walked many dogs ranging in size, age, and breed! I love dogs and always want to make sure they have an enjoyable time on their walks! I’m comfortable around all breeds and temperaments as well! Before working for a company, I was a pet sitter in my home town and walked many neighbors dogs! I’m very passionate about animals and would love to walk your dog next! I just moved back home for a few months! My schedule is pretty flexible and making time to care for a dog would be easy for me to do. Whether it is dog sitting, or even just a walk to help out your own schedule, I can help! I have previous experience with crate care and leash safety. Dog safety and health is a top priority for me and any specifications per dog I do my best to adhere to!

About: What sets me apart is my background in dog grooming. I recently completed a grooming course in Peru and now work as a pet bather at PetSmart, on my way to becoming a certified dog stylist. Because I groom dogs, I’ve learned to notice the small signs — like tense body language or lip licking — that show a dog is getting anxious, so I can step in and calm them down before it becomes a bigger issue. On top of that, I live with my own senior chihuahua, a young high-energy Shepherd mix, and a cat, so I’m already used to handling very different personalities and energy levels day to day. I work full-time but I’m off at 5pm every day, which gives me time for afternoon walks, drop-in visits, and feedings right after work. I also have 2 days off during the week where I’m available any time of day for longer visits or sits. And since I’m a night owl, I’m happy to help pet parents who get home late — I can handle late-night walks or check-ins when other sitters might not be available. I’m also able to keep a consistent daily schedule, so your pet can count on the same routine they’re used to. With my own dogs, I walk them three times a day—morning, afternoon, and evening—for at least 15 minutes to keep them active and happy. If time allows, I enjoy taking longer walks depending on the dog’s energy level and needs. During the week, I also like taking them to a park or somewhere new so they can explore and smell new things for enrichment. At home, I always make time to play with them and keep them mentally stimulated. For my cat, I have a cat tree and several scratching posts around the house so they stay comfortable and entertained. When caring for a client’s pet, I make sure to follow their routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions so their pet feels safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Before I moved from my family I was a pet owner of two dogs myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether it’s an energetic walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also experienced in administering oral medications and am happy to follow any special care instructions to keep your pet on their regular routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give pet parents peace of mind through dependable, compassionate care. I’ve dog sat and cat sat before for friends, family and clients and have loved them all the same. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and can often accommodate different schedules and last-minute needs. I enjoy spending time with pets and love having the flexibility to make their care a regular part of my day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, I make sure to follow their individual routines and needs. In a client’s home, I keep their space clean and comfortable, follow feeding and walking schedules, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications when needed and will always keep owners updated with photos and messages.
About: Hi! I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve always loved being around dogs and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, happy, and cared for—especially when their owners are away. I’m comfortable with different personalities, whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and shy. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pet is well taken care of and feels loved. My goal is to help in any way I can so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is in good hands. I’ll treat your pet like my own! 🐶💛 I work at an elementary school during the day, but after school I have plenty of free time to care for dogs and take them on walks. My schedule allows me to be consistent and reliable, and I’m able to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need in the afternoons and evenings. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. In my client’s home, I respect their space and keep things clean while making sure their pet feels comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I give pets lots of attention, patience, and care, whether that means playing with them, taking them on walks, or just keeping them company. I always pay attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for a while now. With the passing of my sweet dog Cassie, I want to continue being around animals and taking care of them just like I did with my dog. I also have experience watching young pets and training basic commands with all types of dogs. I am a recent college graduate working remotely and available all throughout the day from my home to watch your pet. I have a relaxed schedule with 1 other dog at home who gets regular exercise. My apartment complex has 2 large dog parks, a washing station, and a large park and mile long walking trail. Missie, my own dog is a kind gentle and playful German shepherd collie mix who is up to date on all her vaccines. If your dog is not friendly with other dogs I will need to know prior, and book a meet and greet so I can assess their behavior with my dog. I will not proceed with the booking if I notice any aggressive behavior towards my dog. Prior to booking: • Please ensure your pets are up to date on ALL vaccines. • I do not accept pets who have active and/or recent flea or tick infections as safety precautions for me, my dog, and other pets I may be caring for as well.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every dog I look after. I treat each pup as if they were my own and take the time to understand their personality, needs, and routine. I have experience caring for both big and small dogs, and I’m comfortable with different breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. Whether your dog needs lots of playtime, extra patience, walks, companionship, or a little more attention, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently have a full time job but I am able to work in the mornings Monday through Thursday. And Saturdays I am able to work after 2pm. I care for pets with a lot of love, patience, and attention because I truly believe they are part of the family. I have taken care of both big and small dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client’s home, I follow their routine and instructions closely, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them the companionship and affection they need while their owner is away. I know being away from their owner can be stressful for pets, so I do my best to make them feel loved and at ease. I treat every dog like they are my own and make sure they receive the same care and attention I would want someone to give my pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Farmers Branch
Taylor was absolutely amazing with our dog, Ester! She was able to help us out with less than 24 hours’ notice, which we really appreciated, and she even made time for a meet and greet beforehand so they could get comfortable with each other. She was always on time, took great photos, and communicated so well throughout the entire experience. It was clear that she was genuinely excited to help care for Ester, which made us feel so comfortable and confident leaving her in Taylor’s hands. We would absolutely recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone who will truly care about their pet, and we will be booking with her again!
Maria is always great and I trust her a lot with Seiya. She’s always on time and really dedicates her time to my doggie. Great communication and keeps me posted on anything she notices - from whether Seiya has a mood to play, to eat or whatsoever! This is not the first time Maria looks after Seiya and will definitely not be the last one
Lily was fantastic! This was my first time utilizing a sitter for my elderly dog. We arranged an introductory meeting and all of my worries and concerns disappeared. I was able to enjoy my vacation due to Lily’s loving care and detailed correspondence on a daily basis. I will definitely seek her out for services in the future!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Farmers Branch choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
